Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a turning-over pad and belongs to the technical field of medical equipment. Background Art

[0002] Turning pads are an auxiliary nursing product used to help patients with limited mobility and long-term bedridden patients turn over, protect their skin, and prevent the occurrence of pressure sores. The use of turning pads can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by patients being fixed in bed for a long time, promote blood circulation, and reduce the incidence of pressure sores in patients.

[0003] For special patients, when lying on their side, they need to support the patient's legs and the bed surface, as well as between their legs. At the same time, since some patients have lower limb paralysis and cannot exert force on their lower limbs, they also need to support their feet when lying on their side to prevent foot drop. In clinical practice, patients' families generally choose to use multiple pillows to pad between their lower limbs and the bed surface or between their legs. This method not only wastes resources, but also makes it difficult to store many pillows on the bed, which brings great inconvenience to patients and their families.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN220213274U discloses an auxiliary turning pad that is not easy to slip off, including a turning pad body, the top of the turning pad body is provided with two symmetrically arranged leg embedding grooves, the upper side walls of the leg embedding grooves protrude outward to form an arc-shaped protruding wall, the lower side walls of the leg embedding grooves are concave inward to form an arc-shaped concave wall, one side of the arc-shaped protruding wall is connected with a connecting fixing belt, the other side of the arc-shaped protruding wall is connected with a connecting buckle, the surface of the connecting fixing belt is provided with Velcro, the movable end of the connecting fixing belt can be matched and passed through the connecting buckle, and the connecting fixing belt is folded back and connected and fixed by the Velcro; auxiliary belts are respectively provided on the left and right outer side walls of the turning pad body, and the auxiliary belts include an overturning belt and a binding belt; but the turning pad of the utility model does not support the feet, the patient's feet are usually in a suspended state, which is easy to cause foot drop; and this turning pad cannot be used when the patient's legs are bent.

[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict. For the convenience of description, if the words "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" appear in the following text, they only indicate that the upper, lower, left and right directions are consistent with the drawings themselves, and do not limit the structure.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the turning pad of this embodiment includes a leg pad layer 1 and a foot pad 2 arranged at one end of the leg pad layer 1; the leg pad layer 1 includes a first pad layer 11, a second pad layer 12 and a third pad layer 13 which are smoothly connected from top to bottom; the cross-section of the leg pad layer 1 is S-shaped; the first pad layer 11 is in an upwardly curved arch shape, the second pad layer 12 is smoothly connected to the first pad layer 11 and is tilted downward, and the third pad layer 13 is smoothly connected to the second pad layer 12 and is in a downwardly curved arch shape.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the turning pad of this embodiment is in a straight state, and both the upper and lower surfaces can be used normally. In this way, the S-shaped leg pad layer 1 can facilitate the patient's transition from lying on the left side to lying on the right side, and the patient can turn over without removing the turning pad. At the same time, it gives the patient more leg space and increases the patient's comfort when lying on the side. The upwardly curved arch of the first pad layer 11 and the downwardly curved arch of the second pad layer 12 make the overall structure without edges and corners, which is convenient for patients to turn over.

[0028] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the leg pad 1 includes a thigh pad 3 and a calf pad 4 connected by a hinge 5 and rotatable, and the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4 can be spliced ​​into a complete leg pad 1 when not rotated open; the hinge 5 includes a first connecting rod 51 and a second connecting rod 52, one end of the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 52 are hinged to each other through a rotating shaft, and the other ends of the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 52 are respectively hinged to the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4. When the patient's leg is bent, the calf pad 4 will rotate with the patient's calf under the connection of the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 52, and the patient can adjust the bending degree of each angle at any time, which increases the patient's comfort.

[0029] An arc-shaped guide rod 7 is arranged on the opposite side of the hinge 5, one end of the guide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the calf pad 4, and the other end of the guide rod 7 extends to the inside of the thigh pad 3, and the inside of the thigh pad 3 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 8 that cooperates with the guide rod 7.

[0030] The thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4 have mounting grooves 6 on their opposite sides, and the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 52 are hingedly mounted in the mounting grooves of the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4, respectively; the mounting grooves 6 are arranged on the opposite side of the third pad layer 13 of the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4; the mounting grooves 6 on the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4 can accommodate the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 52.

[0031] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the turning pad of this embodiment is in the bent state after opening. The hinge of this embodiment is a hidden hinge. When the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4 are connected to form a complete leg pad 1, this state can be used when the patient is lying on his side with his legs straight. The hinge 5 is hidden in the installation groove 6 provided on the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4. When the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4 are opened, the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 52 move freely and escape from the installation groove 6; at the same time, the guide rod 7 can make the thigh pad 3 and the calf pad 4 more stable when opened. When the patient's legs move and bend or change from a bent state to a straight state, the calf pad 4 will move around the thigh pad 3 through the hinge 5, and the guide rod 7 fixedly installed on the calf pad 4 will move in the arc-shaped guide groove 8 to prevent the calf pad 4 from shaking at will.

[0032] The foot pad 2 is arranged at one end of the calf pad 4 away from the thigh pad 3; the foot pad 2 includes a mounting column 21 fixedly arranged at one end of the calf pad 4 away from the thigh pad 3 and a foot pad body 22 sleeved on the outside of the mounting column 21; one end of the first pad layer 11, the second pad layer 12 and the third pad layer 13 away from the thigh pad 3 is provided with a foot pad 2.

[0033] The foot pad 2 of this embodiment is an adjustable telescopic foot pad, which can adapt to patients of different heights. When a taller patient uses it, the patient can lengthen the foot pad 2 by stepping down. When the foot pad 2 is pushed back, it can adapt to the use of a shorter patient and provide stable support for the foot. A foot pad 2 is provided at the tail end of each cushion layer, so that the patient's foot still has stable support when turning over.

[0034] The turning pad of this embodiment divides the leg pad layer into a thigh pad 3 and a calf pad 4 which are hinged together, which is different from the fixed structure of other turning pads. It is convenient for the patient to bend his legs when lying on his side, making the patient more comfortable when lying on his side. At the same time, the hinge of the turning pad is hidden. After the thigh pad and the calf pad are spliced ​​together, the hinge will be hidden inside the leg pad layer, which increases the integrity of the turning pad and makes it more convenient to store the turning pad.

[0035] The contents explained in the above embodiments should be understood as these embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, various equivalent forms of modifications to the present invention by those skilled in the art fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.
